total scum
 

just to let people know this what the green brigade the so called ultras of celtic had this display today total scum

Re: total scum
 

I lived in Glasgow for three years.

I love the city, and it's people.

The only downside was the sectarianism, practiced by both sides.

Old Firm match days, this great city turns into Beiruit.

That I don't miss.

Re: total scum
 

I never realised just how bad it was over the boarder until I worked in Glasgow G, Scotland's a lovely country spoiled by religious bigotry, although signs like that have no place at football matches or anywhere else for that matter:mad:

Re: total scum
 

What is the reasoning behind it ? I get the gist but what is the story behind it ? Do you have some background info C'mon ?

Re: total scum
 

Its the British Army IRA thing Dave, its just strange that I haven't heard anything about this incident either on TV, on the news or in the papers

Re: total scum
 

Thought it was something along those lines but what these, mindless bigots seem to have forgotten is that the Poppy symbol relates to all sacrifices made by the British Military & not just it's recent history.

The simple fact these creatures have obviously forgotten is, they are being allowed to display these sickening comments due in a great part to these Lads & Lasses who've given their lives to protect freedom & the right to free speech so imbeciles like these waving their mindless banners can do so.

C'mon, we don't always see eye to eye on here but with this one, you took the words right out of my mouth, although there are plenty more I'd like to add. :mad:

Re: total scum
 

The media treat it with the contempt it deserves, and ignore it. Why give the idiots any publicity?

I remember going into a packed pub in Scotland during an Old Firm game on TV. Not a football jersey in sight! My Scottish pal told me the wearing of "colours" had long since been banned because they lead to too much trouble.

Re: total scum
 

Not so much in the city cente or the westend, but drink anywhere else, and you'll be asked, sooner or later, 'Which side ya on, big man?'

Knowing full well they wanted to know if you were Celtic or Rangers, and therefore whether you were a proddy dog, or a papist devil, I'd usually answer 'Normally to the left, but it really depends on what I'm wearing'.

It they persisted, I'd say 'Oh you mean which football team!'

'Queen of the South, actually.'

:D

Re: total scum
 

I worked at the Celtic Supporters Club in 1972 (Same year Rangers won the cup winners cup, but that's another story) We were doing a full faze refit to the ustairs concert room, new bar, ceilings, wall paneling, carpets and furniture the full Monty. We got quite friendly with a few of the committee, and on the day we fit the bar one came up o us and said you'll have to replace that, what:confused: the blue screen, we used to have Orra glass panels of various colours blues greens reds yellows orange etc, made into pillar screens, I just ask why, its Rangers colours somebody will put their fist through it on opening night, so we sent down to William St to get it replaced. Nearing he end of the job the carpet fitters arrived to lay the carpet, which turned out to be Royal Blue, I shouted to the same chap that had told us about the Orra Glass and ask him why the blue carpet, you walk on that he said:eek::eek::eek: the mind boggles. Not only that but about 3 weeks later I wen back on a snagging trip and when I went in the room the carpet was completely covered in cigarette burns, it looked like it was 6 years old not 3 weeks:rolleyes:

Re: total scum
 

On top of that they're also belittling the bravery,courage & steadfastness of many fine Scottish & Irish fighting men & regiments who've served with pride. loyalty & distinction in the past & in the present day regardless of their own personal religious views.

Re: total scum
 

Think your trying to say they're numpties Dave;)

Re: total scum
 

Suppose I am Jay, but believe me the words I'd choose to describe these cretins go way beyond what is acceptable on here & their use would have me banned for life.

Re: total scum
 

Very true... and yet another example of religious rather than national bigotry.

Re: total scum
 

Who cares about Scotland anyway? Along with the frogs they are Englands oldest enemies and despite 300 years of bailing them out they still winge. I notice on the telly today that that fat Sottish hypocrite Salmon was marching to save an RAF base; this is a guy who wants no truck with England and a UK. Pathetic.

Shut down the bases and move 'em to England, then give the Jocks their independence and then let 'em rot in hell.

Re: total scum
 

I guess your not to fond of our scottish neighbors:rolleyes:

Re: total scum
 

I've looked a bit closer at this photo/image and I reckon it may have been doctored.. looks like a copy and paste job.

Re: total scum
 

Agreed.

Thought the same.

Might well have said that on the banners, but looks like it's been PhotoShopped.

Re: total scum
 

Though you'd have thought if it had been doctored, they'd have corrected the spelling mistake.

'A banner which read: "Your deeds would shame all the devils in hell, Ireland Iraq Afghanistan No blodstained poppy on our hoops" was unveiled by a minority of fans.'

Just wondering, what's a 'hoops'?

Re: total scum
 

Even the foreign players, from Glasgow's main rival teams, hate each other.

Until my proper job started, I briefly worked for a jeweller's, looking after the celebrity clients. (Read foot players, crooks, and drug barons.)

I can't remember their names. One played for Celtic, tall African, whose name sounded like Bilbo Baggins, and the other geezer was that long haired Italian, who later went down to play for Blackburn Rovers.

They nearly ended up scrapping, when they both came in at the same time, for yet another diamond encrused Rolex.

Then there was that daft apeth Gazza, who foolishly decided it would be a good idea to mime playing the Irish flute, after scoring a goal in his debut for Rangers.

Football sends Weegies loopy.

Re: total scum
 

Bobo Balde, and Lorenzo Amoruso!

Just came back to me!

:D

Re: total scum
 

How could we have forgot these legends in football.. and one of them played for Blackburn Rovers?..:D

Re: total scum
 

I think Amoruso's now touring the world...

with the Antique Chippendales.

:D

Re: total scum
 

posing as a chair leg?.. just the same as he did at Rovers! :D

Re: total scum
 

If he was a rerject from a Scottish team the he is patently forgettable.

I was amued to see Salmon campaining against the closure of Lossiemouth & Kinloss - as already stated he wants to be totally independent of England - but he still wants our money. Let us rebuild and re-inforce the wall.:rolleyes::mosher:

I think we should bring back oud adie and ask him to rebuild his wall, and do away with the pile of porridge spoons in that field near the Iron Bridge:D

Re: total scum
 

and heres the most contradicting statement ever Celtic Trust statement re the Poppy? and by the way they have nothing to do with the real scotland they want to be irish but the funny thing is ireland dont want them either and tealeef we are englands oldest allies and read your history about the english civil war;)

Re: total scum
 

A lot of the fans were not happy including some season ticket holders I know. The stewards seemed to have been powerless as well. Thing is there is a minority that think this kind of behavior is acceptable and will carry on doing these outrageous things. The club IMHO dosnt have a clue what to do about this element in the support nor any idea on how to prevent it. The statement is bum fluff as for decades it was only interested in players of the right religion though that is slowly changing. The idiots have gone too far this time and stained Scotland as well as the clubs reputation.

Re: total scum
 

I recently went on a 3 day trip to Belgium and France , visiting where my two great uncles are buried.

The most memorable part of the trip was at the Menin Gate in Ypres, where at 8pm every night of the year, 365 days, the traffic is stopped, and the local brass band play the Last Post. It is a ceremony that is stark in its simplicity, but yet one of the most haunting and moving sights I've ever seen in my life. The ceremony remembers the sacrifice made by the thousands of soldiers, English, Scottish, Irish and many other nationalities, who gave their lives so that we can live in freedom.

It strikes me that one of the liberties that they were fighting for was freedom of speech - the very right that those football fans were using in displaying their posters at the Celtic match.

Who was it who said that I disagree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it?

The only crime they are guilty of is crass ignorance.

Re: total scum
 

And the neanderthals wouldn't wouldn't understand that anyway

Re: total scum
 

sorry but i have to disagree spugs their reputation has already been tarnished when they booed a minutes silenced and had to have a minutes applause last year ask any arsenal fan what happened at their friendly last year and the club must have known and let them bring the banners in and last night a well known journalist said it didnt look like a tiny minority either YouTube - Celtic FC's Poppy Protest vs Falkirk and its not the first time either sorry to disagree but people cant hide the truth any longer
